Finally, I think that I have got it right! It took me awhile to figure out my pictures in this earlier blog. You can there see lots of the same pictures over and over again. Enjoy!
Here is the picture taken by me outside the Ristorante Albergo in Barbaresco, Italy in 2005 the week of the Italian wine expo in Verona( the last week exactly ). We were visiting our Barbaresco and Barbera producers here ( Funtinin( Barbera ) in the yellow sweater and to his right the Barbaresco producer ), Geoff of Chef Geoff restaurants, Randy of Whole Foods, Chris Pigott of Country Vintners , and me ( not pin the picture because I took it of Cleveland Park Wines And Spirits , Washington D.C. N.W. ). What a blast! There will be more pictures to follow. I do love the shot here of David in the center with his eyes so wide open !
This picture is of importance also because some of David's ashes will be flown to Piemonte, Italy and buried in Vayra's Barolo vineyard not far from here. Fletcher told me all this yesterday at the store when he made a delivery. He promised to send me a more complete story by email soon. It turns out that this Barolo vineyard is one of David's favorite; perhaps as much for the site and place as well as for the wine. I will get the name of the exact vineyard and include it later. The rest of the ashes will be buried in August I understand at the National Cemetery here in Arlington, Virginia. It's a beautiful cemetery with a view of the Potomac river below and Washington D.C. just across it.Cheers, TONY
